New Applied Behavior Analysis Approach to Autism

The University of Ulster has developed an applied behavior analysis (ABA) multimedia therapy solution. Along with groups including the European Association for Behavior Analysis, Science and the Treatment of Autism: a Multimedia Package for Parents and Professionals (STAMPPP) was created. STAMPPP includes a DVD, instructions, and various resources to help train parents and therapists to work with children with autism. Dr. Mickey Keenan, from the University of Ulster, says, “we developed the original Simple Steps multimedia programme on ABA to help parents understand how, as in medicine, one thing called ‘the scientific method’ can guide them when they teach their children diagnosed with autism.”
